High-level organs and senior cadres should take the lead in emancipating their minds, innovating their working methods, promoting all work with the concept of governance, and enhancing their skills in systematic governance, legal governance, comprehensive governance and source governance. We should attach great importance to grass-roots governance, respect the dominant position and initiative of officers and men, and promote all-round progress and perfection of grass-roots construction. It is necessary to organically combine military governance with reform and the rule of law, consolidate and expand the achievements of national defense and military reform, deepen military legislation, strengthen the implementation and supervision of laws and regulations, play a good role in promoting reform, and make good use of the rule of law as the basic way to better promote all aspects of military governance.
